does john boehner want to do that, to haul him in hand cuffs essentially? we'll see. you know, i saw another former speaker today, newt gingrich, and we also spoke about this. and he was basically licking his chops over this. he thinks it's very, very politically advantageous for the republicans with pro gun voters, a number of whom are democrats. they think they can score points in states like michigan which has a lot of second amendment supporters in it, swing state, so this is heavily politicized right now. the question is, will the republican house go too far and get on the wrong side of public opinion? they're already disliked by the american public. if they actually follow through on what a contempt charge actually carries, and arrest eric holder, we'll see how the american public reacts. i don't think it would be positive. >> it would seem to me the american public, and i can only imagine how fair minded americans would be reacting, that they haven't even gotten testimony from all of the people and gotten all of the information about this program, but they're r

should john boehner make clear that the united states should not default? >> i can't give political advice to politicians. all i can say is the real economic issue here is both addressing the size of spending and then how you want to deal with the fiscal cliff. >> obama care, this is a subject you know a lot about. you wrote a book about fixing health care. when i look at the problem, it does seem as though if you have an insurance based system and you don't include everyone, you end up in a kind of negative spiral for insurance companies where they're trying to kick people off with preexisting conditions because they don't want to just have sick people on. that is the reason that governor romney of massachusetts decided you had to have a mandate. doesn't it make sense then to preserve the individual mandate in obama care because that's what makes an insurance system work, that have you healthy and unhealthy people in it? >> no, i don't think so, fareed. first of all, have you to start with what's the goal of the reform? i think from an economic perspective
